Is there a refutation of the Khawarij in the hadith of Jundub?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I seek forgiveness from Allah. Is there a refutation of the Khawarij in the hadith of Jundub, the one they mention regarding this warning?

The Shaykh:
What milk do you want?

The questioner:
Of course.

The Shaykh:
By Allah, Allah does not forgive so-and-so. Yes, indeed. The Khawarij declare disbelief on account of major sins, so they are close to the meaning of the hadith, because they declare people disbelievers and cut them off from hope by their commission of major sins that are less than shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is a type of cutting off hope. However, they did not swear that Allah does not forgive so-and-so; they did not swear that Allah does not forgive so-and-so. Nor do they prevent one who repents from repentance; they do not prevent him from repentance. But there is a resemblance in them; there is a resemblance in them in the aspect of declaring people disbelievers merely for sins that do not reach the level of kufr (disbelief), but are only major sins. As for their swearing that Allah does not forgive so-and-so, or asserting that such a person is among the people of the Fire, we have not heard this about them. Yes.
